Level Up!
So yes, today I reached another level of game geekness today (though, not quite as high as it potentially could've been). I actually waited in line for a game. Yes, yes, I waited half an hour before a store opened (a store that opened two hours ahead of it's normal opening time for the game) to get it. Why am I not playing it now? Well, it's installing, so I have some time. Anyway, I shall tell you some highlights of things from my morning.
1. I was early enough to get a copy of the Collector's Edition. Go me.
2. I was chatting with a couple other people in line, which was an entertaining experience, as one of them was a 40-something mother who was buying a CE version for herself, and one for her husband. [i]She[/i] was the one to introduce the game to [i]him[/i]. Quite fun.
3. The line by the time the store was open was around 50 some people or so. A quarter of them were girls/women.
4. The guy in line behind me had won $500 with his girlfriend from dressing up as characters from the game last halloween.
5. The same guy offered to give me a ride home, as we were all complaining about the weather, and the routes we would have to take home came up. He said that where I am was on his way, so he drove me and I didn't need to take the bus. Quite awesome.
6. Everybody I had talked to had no denial that they were nerds.
And now, it's done installing. I'm off to spend the rest of my day off in a videogame.
Adieu.
